Tore’s Tuesday, only this time on a Wednesday…
I just bought this and had to show it. This is a very rare bayonet with quite a strange history.
This is a model 1860 pioneer bayonet. Rare as such, but after becoming obsolete for the pioneers these were transferred to the Werft units, the units entrusted to guard the Wharfs, and used well into WWI. An absolute beast of a bayonet, and one that has been in use for a very long time.
